I think -u is a shorthand version of --set-upstream or something like that: basically saves the default remote and branch so that you dont have to type "origin master" every time (and instead only write git push)

Even though I learn nothing this time, just wanna say that you are by far the most dedicated, rigorous developer on YouTube. Thx for all. 👍

If anyone is getting any errors while fetching and pushing this helped me:
take a local backup first in case something bad happens
git pull --rebase origin main

Another amazing video, incase if you don't know you can use "add ." To add every change on root.

So u have three files inside main folder :

main style.css, app.js)

cd main
git init
git add .
git commit -m "building main structure"
git push

One place in your code I see -
app.get("/", ( _, res ) => { ...
What does '_' means? Rather I have seen 'req' which is very common used variable. Sometimes your code looks high level to me. I always want to code like you but for that I have to learn a lot and I am far behind you and this is the reason, Everytime I have to leave your twitch live stream in between because at that time you were teaching something which I don't know.

Hey, you can do `` git add . `` instead of `` git add -A ``
